Don't Leave Them Behind: Pets and Foreclosure - Once you know that your home is irretrievably lost to you, you should start making plans for a future for your pets. If at all possible (and it is often more possible than not) make arrangements to take your pets with you. Homeowners Face the Reality of Upside Down Mortgages - The idea of being upside down on a vehicle is not that new. This commonly occurs when a consumer makes the decision to purchase a new vehicle before they have paid off their existing vehicle. As a result, the balance of the loan on the existing vehicle is added to the note for the new vehicle. Short Pay Versus Short Sale In Foreclosure - There is often confusion about what is a short sale and a short pay with a lender in foreclosure. A short sale is where the lender is willing to discount the existing mortgage(s) and sell to an investor for a "cash" transaction or an end buyer who does financing. A Short Cut To A Short Sale In Foreclosure - The best short cut to completing a short sale is actually having the lender sell the note to the property buyer. Yes, often the lender will consider selling the note at a discount when it won’t do a short sale. The difference to the lender is the cost and time saved in selling the note versus the drawn-out time required to complete a short sale. The options to the lender are to: 1. What is 'Keys for Cash' in Foreclosure - The term "keys for cash" in foreclosure is common in two situations. The first place it is often used is when a lender agrees to a short sale and the homeowner needs get-away money to leave the property.

This cash requirement substantially depletes the leveraged lending ability of that specific institution so REO's are not what any lender wants. In addition, the lender faces capital loss due to a declining real estate market. What happens to Second Mortgage after foreclosure on the first? - Scenario: I have a foreclosure soon to take place on my first mortgage. What happens to the second mortgage if it is paid up to date?

But they dropped the ball and the first lender won`t take anything. Now, it`s just 10 days left for the foreclosure sale. The lender is simply trying to blame it on me. Is there anyway I can get back the $1000? What`s going to happen when they sell off the home? Will the sheriff come and keep all my possessions if I`m still there in the property?
